Overview Typical CCD Phenomena The following effects on the monitor screen are characteristic of CCD cameras. They do not indicate any fault with the camera module. Smear This occurs when shooting a very bright object such as electric lighting, the sun, or a strong reflection. This phenomenon is caused by an electric charge induced by infrared radiation deep in the photosensor. It appears as a vertical smear, since the CCD imaging element uses an interline transfer system. Vertical aliasing When you shoot vertical stripes or lines, they may appear jagged. Blemishes A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual sensor elements (pixels). A malfunctioning sensor element will cause a single pixel blemish in the picture (This is generally not a problem.). White speckles While CCD image pickup device is made by an accurate technique, imperceptible speckless may rarely come up on the screen due to cosmic rays and so on. This is connected to the principle of CCD image pickup device, not a malfunction. And the white speckless are easy to come up in the following conditions. Using the camera in high temperature When turning up the gain Note If strong light enters a wide area of the screen, the screen may become dark. This is not a malfunction. If this occurs, avoid strong light or adjust the lens iris to reduce the light amount. CCD used in XCL-C130/C130C Under the following operating conditions, because the construction of the CCD of this camera is different from the CCDs used in other cameras, the brightness level near the pedestal may increase, or white dots described above may become pronounced, degrading the image quality. When used in a hot environment When the gain is increased When the exposure time is long (0.1 second or longer) In these situations, decrease the environmental temperature, or adjust the light source or lens aperture, and change the camera gain or exposure time. Note on laser beams Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned that the surface of a CCD should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used.

Functions Partial Scan Only the area selected from the effective pixel area can be read out. Clearing unnecessary parts at high-speed allows high-speed reading. The area size is selected by the HEIGHT and WIDTH commands, and the read beginning point is selected by the OFFSETX and OFFSETY commands. Using the ROI command, you can set HEIGHT, WIDTH, OFFSETX and OFFSETY at the same time. Reducing HEIGHT increases the frame rate, but changing WIDTH does not change the frame rate. Partial scan can be set with or without a trigger. Binning can be used at the same time. OFFSETX and OFFSETY relate to WIDTH and HEIGHT as follows: OFFSETX + WIDTH WIDTH (maximum value) OFFSETY + HEIGHT HEIGHT (maximum value) Note Since the shutter setting has priority, use a shutter speed high enough to enable partial scan at a higher frame rate. Configurable range WIDTH HEIGHT XCL-C30/C 16 to 658 2 to 494 XCL-C32/C 16 to 658 2 to 494 XCL-C130/C 16 to 1296 2 to 966 XCL-C280/C 16 to 1940 2 to 1460 XCL-C500/C 16 to 2456 480 to 2058 Configurable values The values of OFFSETX, OFFSETY, WIDTH and HEIGHT increase or decrease in steps of 2. command param1 param2 param3 param4 ROI Width Height OffsetX OffsetY Binning By adding 2 vertical pixels or 2 horizontal pixels, the frame rate in vertical binning is increased along with the sensitivity. The color camera cannot set this. This can be set with or without a trigger. Partial scan can be used concurrently and horizontal and vertical can be set at the same time. The XCL-C500 can perform vertical binning only when Height is 2048. Partial scan VBIN 1 No binning 2 Vertical binning HBIN 1 No binning 2 Horizontal binning Functions Sensor Tap Switching sensor tap XCL-C280/C has a CCD with 2-channel output. Reading speed is faster in 2-channel output than 1- channel output. Although XCL-C500/C has a CCD with 2-channel output, the number of sensor taps cannot be switched.

SENSOR-TAP 1 1-channel 2 2-channel BL-AB- LIMIT 1 to 512 to 16383 Setting lower value prevents excessive detection Functions Level correction between sensor taps Since XCL-C280/C and XCL-C500/C have a CCD with 2 channel signal outputs, output level differences may occur during 2-channel reading due to the characteristic difference between channels. Level correction between sensor taps can correct the level differences. A command for one-push (automatically detecting the level difference and adjusting only once), continuous (constantly detecting the level difference and adjusting continuously), and manual correction (correcting left and right manually) is provided. After one-push is performed once, the state returns to manual designation. BLACKLEV 0 Manual designation EL-AUTO- BALANCE 1 One-push (only once) (BL-AB) 2 Continuous (consecutive) Manual designation is performed by the BL-ADJ-1/2 command. The left screen is for TAP1 and the right screen is for TAP2. One push and continuous commands automatically set the value for TAP2. BL-ADJ-1-255 to 0 to 255 Black level correction value for left screen BL-ADJ-2-255 to 0 to 255 Black level correction value for right screen Adjusting level correction between sensor taps The one-push command should be executed after setting the output level to all black by removing light sources. When One-push or Continuous is performed as taking an image normally, the shade difference of an object is detected as the level difference between taps and level correction may not work properly on rare occasions. In this case, the limit value (BL-AB-LIMIT) should be adjusted so that the level is automatically adjusted to the proper value. Lowering the value allows preventing excessive detection but interferes the normal level correction between taps to work properly. The level should be adjusted accordingly since the optimal value differs depending on the environment (such as an object and light source) and camera settings (such as gain and shutter). Output Bit Depth Monochrome cameras can switch between 8 bits, 10 bits, and 12 bits. Color cameras can switch between Raw output 8 bits, 10 bits, 12 bits, and RGB output 24 bits. PIXEL-DEPTH 8/10/12/24 24 is only for color camera Gain Analog gain The analog gain can be set finely in 1 db unit or bit level (up to 18 db). It can be set per the sensor tap as well. GAIN 0 to 18 Gain db unit (full screen) GAIN-TAP1 0 to 18 Gain db unit (left screen) GAIN-TAP2 0 to 18 Gain db unit (right screen) GAIN-FINE 0 to 512 Gain advanced setting (full screen) GAIN- FINE-TAP1 0 to 512 Gain advanced setting (left screen) GAIN- FINE-TAP2 0 to 512 Gain advanced setting (right screen) Digital gain The digital gain is not implemented in this device. Auto gain (AGC) By executing the GAIN-AUTO command, the gain is automatically adjusted according to the image pickup environment. AGC works so that the average level in a detection frame may reach AGC-LEVEL. The AGC detection frame is set to the central region by default.

Trigger Control Free run/trigger mode Free run The camera operates without a trigger signal and performs the video output operation continuously after the shutter (exposure) is finished. The horizontal and vertical timing signals are generated within the camera. During the free-run operation, image pickup timing cannot be controlled. In the free-run operation, the adjustment is made automatically to achieve the maximum frame rate according to the shutter setting. Functions Trigger mode Exposure is started by detecting the externally input trigger signal. When EXP-MODE is 0, exposure is started by detecting the rising or falling edge of the trigger signal and the trigger edge detection (exposure is performed based on the set shutter value) is performed. When EXP-MODE is 1, the trigger width detection (exposed for the period of the trigger signal width) is performed.

Special trigger When operating in trigger mode and performing image pickup in different conditions (such as the shutter, gain, and image pickup area), the setting has to be changed in advance for each trigger input. However, if the special trigger operation is enabled, the setting does not have to be changed and continuous image pick up in different conditions is facilitated. Up to 16 settings can be configured. There are the bulk operations in which images are taken consecutively by inputting the trigger signal once and the sequential operation in which images are taken each time the trigger signal is detected. The next exposure is started after the end of video output. In the sequential operation, the second and subsequent trigger signals should be input 5 ms or more after the end of video output. During the special trigger operation, the device cannot be entered to the trigger mode. The source and polarity of the special trigger signal should be defined separately from the trigger mode. Each setting should be saved in the user set. For the items reflected, refer to Command List (page 41). Note During special trigger operation, defect correction cannot be used.

Trigger shift This device can accept exposure by the next trigger even while a video is output (except for the special trigger operation). In this case, trigger shift should be enabled since the trigger signal can become a noise source. When trigger shift is enabled, adjustment is made automatically for operations from trigger input to exposure to prevent noise contamination. Therefore, the time from trigger input to exposure start will be delayed up to 1 line. When disabling trigger shift, this delay adjustment is not made and exposure is started consistently at the constant timing but noise may occur in the image. Even when the trigger shift is enabled, the next video cannot be output before completing video output and the trigger is disabled. Therefore, the exposure time setting (in the trigger edge operation), the effective period of the trigger signal width to be input (in the trigger width operation), or the trigger interval should be sufficiently long. Trigger signal Exposure (Trigger shift off) Exposure (Trigger shift on) Sensor output Trigger shift max 1H in this interval When the next image can be output Since video output is completed after the exposure is finished, the next video output can be started.

Trigger delay The camera can delay the trigger signal. Trigger signal Exposure Sensor output TRG-DLY 0 to 4000000 Trigger delay [µs] Functions Trigger counter Accepted triggers by which video output is performed are counted. Triggers are counted up by the internal counter even in the free-run operation. Setting 0 resets the counter. Video output is not performed for triggers that coincide with the double exposure timing, but triggers are counted up. Triggers that have been removed by trigger range limit are not counted. The trigger counter returns to 0 when the upper limit (2147483647) is reached. command TRG-CNT Frame counter The frame counter increases when an image is output. Setting 0 resets the counter. Frames whose image cannot be output due to triggers that coincide with the double exposure timing are not counted. The trigger counter returns to 0 when the upper limit (2147483647) is reached. command FRAME-COUNTER Trigger range limit Only signals in the set trigger width can be accepted as the trigger signal. This functions as a noise filter, which removes chattering or disturbance noise in the trigger signal line. This also functions as a trigger selector, whereby only a specific camera can be operated by the trigger when multiple cameras share one trigger signal line. When the trigger signal is input, exposure is started immediately to increment the trigger counter; however, when trigger width is out of the range, video is not output and the trigger counter is decremented. If the shutter time is set shorter than the upper limit, triggers will be received and video is output even if the trigger signal is wider than the trigger range limit. If the trigger source is soft trigger, trigger range is not enabled.

Sensor Readout (Sensor Output) This signal indicates that exposure has completed and the CCD has entered the video output sequence, Output is available from the GPO1, 2 or 3 terminals. The sensor readout signal is asserted before optical black and the effective pixel area is output. If the following trigger signal is input when this signal is asserted, horizontal line noise may occur in an image. The trigger shift function (page 21) can effectively prevent noise contamination. The time required for the CCD to start OB (optical black) and effective pixel output after sensor readout signal assertion is shown below. Moreover, when the CCD starts picture signal output, picture signals such as FVAL take at least as much time as is required for 4 to 4.5 lines. OB is not output from a camera.
